a cross against the candidate or candi-
dates for whom he votes. Then he
folds up the paper 50 rs to show the

BY actual enumeration of the words
obtained in the best dictionaries. it has
been ascertained that 1880 English
words are Of Saxon origin and 29,354
Of classical origin. In consequence Of
the popular nature Of the Teutonic
words in the language, the Saxon clc-
ment largely preponderates in the
works Of our greatest writers. The
pronouns. numerals, propositions, con-
functions, and auxiliary verbs, the
names ofthc elements, and their changes,
Of the seasons, the heavenly bodies. the
divisions of time, the features of natu-
raj scenery, the organs Of the body. the
modes Of bodily action, and posture.
the commonest animals. the words used
in earliest childhood. the ordinary terms
of traffic. the constituent words in prov
erbs, the designation Of kindred, the
simpler emotions Of the mind, terms of
pleasantly. satire. contempt, indigna
ton, invective, and anger are for the
most part Of Saxon origin. The Eng
lish language. which is now spoken by
nearly one hundred millions of the
earth's inhabitants, is in its vocabulary
one of the most heterogeneous that ever
existed. There is. perhaps. no Ian
guage SO full of words, evidently de-
rived from the most distant sources. as
English. Every country of the globe
seems to have brought some of its ver-
bal manufactures to the intellectual
market of England; Latin, Greek, He-
brew. Celtic, Saxon, Danish. French.
Spanish, Italian. German-nay, even
Hindustani, Malay. and Chinese words
are mixed together in the English die
tionary.

old Marriage Ceremonies.

The celebration Of marriages in
churches was first ordained BY Pope
Innocent III. about the year 1900. Be-
fore this date the only ceremony was
that of the man leading his bride home
to his house. But it was not until
several centuries after Innocent's edict
that the injunctions contained in it We're
generally obeyed. Both forms of
marriage remained in vogue, and they
were respectively called ..par devoir'
and ..par amour marriage of duty
ii. e.: to the church) and of love. Both
were legal. But the church frowned
on the latter, and, being all powerful.
gradually educated the mind Of the
people till there was stigma attached
to it. By an old law marriages could
be celebrated in the church porch or mt
the church door.

How is the amount of timber in a
standing tree calculated? The usual
rule for measuring timber is to measure
the trunk round the middle. take one
fourth part Of the girth and square it.
and multiply this square BY the length
or hight Of the tree. In calculating a
stan ling tree It is usual to measure the
hight Of the tree to the first fork. and
if there is still . good portion Of trunk
above that it il measured separately
and added to the previous cal
culation. If a tree is very irregular.
divide it into several lengths and find
the solidity Of each part separately: or
add all the girths together and divide
the sum BY thenumher Of them When
the square Of the quarter girth is multi
piled BY the length, the product gives \
result nearly one-fourth less than the
quantity in the tree. This rule is. how
ever. invariably practiced by timber
merchants. and is not likely to be
abolished. Some allowance ought to
be made to the purchaser on account
of the waste in squaring the wood SO as
to be fit for use. DIR. Hutton recon-
mends the following rule, which will
give the content extremely near the
truth: "Multiply the square of one.
fifth of the girth by twice the length,
and the product will be- the content .
